Alan Pardew is in talks with Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia to become their new director of football.

The 59-year-old had a brief spell as head coach of ADO Den Haag in Holland prior to the Covid-19 pandemic curtailing the Dutch season and they mutually agreed to cancel his contract in April.

Pardew has vast experience coaching West Ham, Newcastle, Crystal Palace and West Brom but this would be his first director of football role.
